Watson Share Accommodation

Jessica

Returning to Canberra for study and job hunting, after working in the UK and South Sudan. Looking for a room available now or end of March at latest, preferably for 6 months minimum, but intend on settling in Canberra for a while so longer works too. I like sharing dinner and a glass of wine, perhaps having a few others over to do so as well, but not after a party house. On a weekend I'll be heading out for frisbee, running, hiking, with a bit of that through the week too - a spot (on road/off road) for a car is needed. I enjoy keeping communal spaces clean. Would be great to live with people in their mid 20s-30s. Unfortunately sneezing mess around cats :( , and not keen on smoking households. I'd like a room with a window, plus space for a double bed and a small desk. Most importantly, I'd love to meet housemates as well!

Paris

Hi im Paris!
Im a full time hairdresser working in dickson. Im an easy going, respectful and considerate person who is looking for a home for myself and my beloved catto, Sky.
I enjoy relaxing and watching netflix and an occasional drink with friends.
I look forward to hearing from you!!

Tuva

I work full time as a technical support engineer, and will be working from Canberra which is why I'm looking for accommodation here!
I am originally from Sweden (but an Aus citizen), so this will be the first time I'm permanently living in Australia.
In my free time I play quite a bit of video games but I also really enjoy going out and seeing and exploring new things, which I hope I'll be doing quite a bit of!
I'm looking for a place where I'll be able to stay for a longer amount of time (6m+), as I'd like to be able to live relatively steady while I have a job. I really am not too fussed about how many people I live with or what they do, as long as they don't smoke inside. I'd also be fine living with any type of pet.
As I'm not actually arriving to Australia until March 5th, meeting me before to see who/what I am might be difficult. However, I am totally down to Skype or whatever is suitable beforehand!

Julia Jäger

I just moved to Canberra to do my PhD on tropical medicine. In my free time I like to go running, rowing, camping, playing tennis/squash and traveling. I am looking for a relaxed place not to far away from ANU.

Acacia

Hi! My name is Acacia-Rae (Rae is a bit easier). I'm looking for a new cool home for me and my little best mate, Teddy.
Teddy is a 1 year old cat who is more like a dog: loves people, plays fetch and thinks humans are pretty alright. He is super well behaved, litter trained and comes with actual real estate agent reference!
I'm also pretty well trained and can come with references. I have lived in share houses for the past 10 years, some with siblings, some with mates. I am a smoker, but you'll never catch me doing it inside, and I try to be very conscious of any non-smokers' space.
I work in a law firm, full time, as an EA. In my down time I like to hang out with my few mates who haven't left Canberra, go to the gym, read, and kiss Teddy on his silly head. An added bonus, some may say, is that I love gardening (may or may not be good at it) so very keen to help if your home has some greenery.
Can't wait to hear from ya, future housemate!

Karen

I'm a Yoga teacher, dancer, photographer, nature-lover. I'm very tidy, thoughtful and responsible. I am independent with a full life, but I also enjoy the buzz and colour of communal living with good-hearted and gentle people. I like to live in places with beautiful light and near to nature.

Jess

Looking for some lovely people to live with, either an existing share house or starting one up!
I have a cat, Bobby, who is very polite and adorable. He wears a cat scrunchie (look them up!) which means he co-exits nicely with local bird populations. Ideally Bobby will move in with me.

Jan

Hi! I'm a fourth year student at ANU, studying law/international security. I was born in Singapore but my family is based in Perth, and I've just come back from an exchange in Nanjing! I'm looking for a place close to uni and the city where I can easily bike around, as I don't have a car. I am a clean, tidy housemate who loves cooking, art, and hanging out with friends. I'm respectful and easy-going, and would love to live with other uni students!

Jem

Hello I'm Jem!
I'm quiet, honest, easy to talk to and very respectful. I also absolutely love meeting new people!
I have a friendly calm 7 y.o cat who does his own thing, has never attacked scratched or bitten anyone ever, however he does not get along with other animals at all.

I don't party I just want a nice place to call my own so I can work hard.
I have all my own furniture and appliances so unfurnished is fine or I'm happy to bring along anything that might be needed
Im also in the process of looking at a few 2-3 bedroom properties through real estates, I have some inspections coming up and if any of you are interesting in teaming up then just message me and you are welcome to come along
I kind of need to find a place asap
Feel free to message me any time :)

Eva Hilvert-Bruce

I keep to myself, but have a lovely personality and am easy to talk too. I am always motivated and respect your privacy. At the same time i'm always happy to lend a hand or an ear.
I work two jobs.
1 based full time as a desktop technician,
the other on weekends, so you won't usually see me.

Nigel

I'm an Adelaide-born astronomer who is looking for short-term accommodation in Canberra. I'm settling into a new job at a university there. I'm a typical geeky type. My interests include coffee, anime, and unsuccessfully attempting to stay fit outside of working hours. I won't be around Canberra much on weekends, as I'll be going back and forth between Sydney and Canberra.

Winsome

Hey! My name is Winsome and I am the housemate you are looking for!
I currently live in Brisbane and am moving to Canberra from January to the end of March, possibly into April to complete an internship. I will be working 5 days a week and am looking for accommodation that is close to Civic. I am studying Peace and Conflict Analysis at the University of Queensland. Right now I'm living with 4 other girls in a sharehouse where I share all communal spaces and a bathroom.
I am clean and tidy, always down for a chat, a movie, or some dinner, but also like to hang out in my room and watch Netflix.
Look forward to hearing from you!

Bettie

I'm studying Curatorship and Arts at uni, and this should (finally) be my last year of study. I also work in Braddon and will be doing a few internships &amp; gallery placements this year.
I'm easy-going and ideally looking for a place where we enjoy each other's company but also our own space, keep shared spaces fairly tidy but overall relaxed and informal. Basically - I'm very flexible (except in yoga class where I can very inflexible, but I try).

Furnished room with own bathroom

The apartment has a large living space, air conditioning, a pool and secure parking. It’s located across the road from the Farmers Market and Epic Showgrounds. Only 15 minutes to the city and 10 minutes to Majura for all your Ikea needs.

Jake

Hi, I am looking for a room to rent preferablly in central Canberra. I am 25 and work in the Public Service. I regulary play sports during the week and spend every second weekend in Sydney.
My budget is about 200 per week not including bills.

Rachel

m 25yr old from the south coast moving to Canberra to study psychology full time at university of Canberra, also pick up a bit of work on the side when I can in hospitality to pay the bills and stuff. I’m easy going and clean, respectful, traveling ,baking some goodies and hopefully getting a bike to get around on since its a flat place, cheap and effective
flexible with locations around theses areas

Kiarie

Hi, my name is Kiarie (I'm the taller one in the photo). I'm a former student at the ANU, who loves going on runs, hiking, and skateboarding.
I've lived in multiple social share houses and I'm clean and respectful of shared spaces. I currently work full time as a data scientist in a kiwi tech company with an office in town.
I'm looking to meet and live with new people who don't mind sharing a dinner or drinks every once in a while or even possibly joining a social sports team with me.

Kat

Hey, I'm Kat, and I’ve just relocated to Canberra from Brisbane for work. They’re putting me up for now, but I’m looking for a place to call home (preferably with own bathroom and undercover/off street parking) within fairly easy walking or riding distance to Civic. Good public transport nearby would be a plus, too. I’ve been told the inner north or around Kingston/Griffith would be a good fit.
I don't have a have a lot of stuff (mostly just bedroom things), so if you're pretty well set up and just have an unfurnished bedroom, then that would be ideal! I'd prefer to share with just one or two others and I'm not too fussed about your age or gender, but I'm keen for a quiet and relaxed home life.
I think I'm a pretty decent housemate - I won't use up all the hot water, am energy-conscious, will drive you to/collect you from the airport, and I like things clean and tidy (doing other people’s dishes is my love language). I've never paid a bill late in my life, and will treat your space and things with respect.
I’m a pretty early riser and do the normal work and gym thing during the week. I enjoy the outdoors, and will be looking to get involved with some kind of social sport once I’m settled (I’ve been playing mixed touch, fairly poorly but with great enthusiasm, in Brissie). I’m looking forward to checking out what Canberra has to offer!
Personality-wise, I am an introvert and do need space and quiet to recharge. This doesn't mean I'm a room hermit, but rather that I am a pro at companionable silence and would prefer to have our home be a sanctuary, with most socialising happening elsewhere. That said, I am friendly, and more than happy to lend an ear if you want to unload about something or just crave a chat, and I'd like it if we did stuff together sometimes (hit the movies, have a drink, watch TV, go on a hike, whatever). Basically, I think it’s important we like one another!
I'm left-leaning, open-minded and non-judgemental, and I come equipped with a sarcastic sense of humour. I'm interested in science (I have a degree in Geology), and being annoyed about politics and the state of the environment/humanity in general but also not doing a lot about it. I also enjoy art (though I know nothing about it), am getting back into reading (after having the love of it bludgeoned out of me by the aforementioned degree), adore people watching, philosophical thought experiments (okay, probs only one of these, but still), music, and keeping fit.
If I sound like I might be your kind of people, hit me up and let's see if we mesh :)

Adam

Currently work full-time for a media company. I am clean, quiet and respectful and looking to move into a place that is both social and respectful of personal space.
I never know what to write for these things, but happy to answer any questions.
